Joshua Austin, DDS, FAGD, demos Ivoclar Vivadent's Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill

Bulk-fill materials are often made to be translucent to allow for light to penetrate more deeply during curing. But translucent materials don't always cover up dark staining, such as that which is left behind when an old amalgam is being replaced.

Bulk-fill materials are often made to be translucent to allow for light to penetrate more deeply during curing. But translucent materials don't always cover up dark staining, such as that which is left behind when an old amalgam is being replaced.

Unlike many bulk-fill materials on the market, Ivoclar Vivadent's Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill is designed to have a dentinlike shade that can help to conceal staining, but it still cures in increments up to 4 mm deep. It's best used as a base, so the manufacturer recommends capping it with Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, which has a translucency more similar to enamel.
